Guarding and fencing in South Wales - local supplier with national reputation |
|
|
 Caerphilly-based Procter Bros is a company with a long and distinguished history dating back over 270 years and over 75 years in South Wales. During this time the company has served customers throughout the UK and as far afield as the USA and Malaysia, with work undertaken for many blue-chip clients and even Royal palaces.
Procter Bros operates from facilities in Bedwas, Caerphilly, and also has premises in Yorkshire and Essex. From these locations the company is able to provide comprehensive UK-wide coverage, plus it can supply and install machine guards in mainland Europe.
Business customers in South Wales will be interested in two of the fields in which Procter Bros operates, namely machine guarding and perimeter fencing. In both cases the company prides itself on providing high-quality products and exceptional standards of customer service. Customers in South Wales are very fortunate to have access to a local supplier with such a strong national reputation.
Machine guards are designed, manufactured (and installed when required) to comply with EC and HSE requirements and are CE marked and issued with a Declaration of Conformity as appropriate. Furthermore, Procter Machine Guarding has a quality management system that is compliant with BS EN ISO 9001:2008.
Jeremy Procter, the Managing Director of Procter Bros, is a Member of BSI's MCE/3 committee (Safeguarding of Machinery) and is the former Convenor of the European Standards Committee responsible for Machine Guarding. He therefore has extensive knowledge of the machine guarding standards, as well as the practical application of those standards. Procter Machine Guarding has provided guards for many of the UK's leading manufacturers; recent customers include Honda, Tata, Heinz, Rolls Royce, BAE Systems and many others. Hundreds of smaller manufacturers have also benefited from Procter guards, as have educational establishments and other organisations.
As part of its commitment to exceptional standards of customer service, Procter Machine Guarding has produced a series of market-leading guides and software-based resources; these include a Guide to Guarding Standards, a Guide to the new Machinery Directive, a Machinery Risk Assessment Calculator, a Safety Distance Calculator and various White Papers. All of these are available to download free of charge from the guarding website.
Fencing and gates for perimeter security are also designed, manufactured and installed in accordance with the same ISO 9001 quality management system, and powered gates are CE marked to the Machinery Directive's requirements. Procter Fencing Systems also has accreditation to the following schemes: Contractors Health & Safety Scheme (CHAS); Construction Line; UVDB Achilles; Safe Contractor; and Secured by Design. Notable sites with Procter fencing and gates include Kensington Palace, HMRC Tax Office in Cardiff, DVLA in Swansea, Welsh Assembly, St. David's 2, Leckwith Stadium and the BBC's new site in Cardiff, while other projects have been successfully completed for utility companies, DIY stores, schools, and industrial and commercial premises.
As with the Guarding Division, Procter Fencing Systems and its sister division Procter Sliding Gates have produced a series of guides and resources, including a Specifier's Guide to Perimeter Security Fencing, a Guide to Fencing for Schools, a Guide to High-Security Perimeter Protection, a Fencing Selector, an Example Risk Assessment for Sliding Gates, and White Papers relating to gate specifications and safety. All are downloadable for free from the fencing website and the sliding gates website,
